Specialists Nurses, Rheumatologists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Orthotists or it patients may access it for themselves. It can include simple foot health advice and how to look after feet, as well as how RA and medication used in its management
might affect patients’ feet in the future.
The aim of the survey is to investigate if people with RA receive foot health education, who from, what kind of things you think people with RA need to know about foot health, when they should receive foot health education and what kind
